Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian blamed the US and its allies for the hardships facing the Iranian people, stating: "If the people of Iran face hardship and difficulties in their lives, one of the main reasons for it is the longstanding enmity and inhumane sanctions imposed by the United States government and its allies."
He also warned that "any aggression against the Supreme Leader of our country is tantamount to all-out war against the Iranian nation."
